As the year draws to a close, we at Reduce My Costs are taking a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve had over the past twelve months. It’s been a year filled with not only professional achievements, but also unforgettable experiences that have brought our team closer together. From exciting developments in our workspace to engaging in meaningful activities, 2023 has been a year to remember!
In terms of professional growth, this year has been nothing short of remarkable. We proudly opened the doors to a new office space that symbolises our commitment to innovation and collaboration. The expansion of our team has brought fresh perspectives, new talents, and a renewed sense of energy to our mission. And, as we adorned ourselves with brand-new jackets, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of unity and pride in representing Reduce My Costs and just how far we have come!
Ellie's Leaving Party
In January, we bid a warm farewell to Ellie, a valued member of our operations team who embarked on a new phase in her professional journey. Ellie’s dedication and hard work significantly contributed to our team’s success, and as she pursued new opportunities, we expressed heartfelt gratitude for her contributions to Reduce My Costs. To commemorate Ellie’s time with us and wish her the best in her future endeavours, we organised a memorable farewell party at Kaltur in Newcastle.
While Ellie may no longer be part of our office daily, she will always hold a special place in the Reduce My Costs family. We eagerly anticipate hearing about her ongoing success in her new role. Here’s to Ellie, and may her future endeavours be filled with accomplishment and fulfilment!
Birthday Celebrations
National Pizza Day
National Pizza Day was a joyful occasion marked by a feast of delightful cheesy goodness. This year, we chose Domino’s to indulge in a variety of pizzas, ranging from the classic Margherita to the more adventurous BBQ chicken and pineapple. Our lunch was a resounding success, leaving us pleasantly stuffed as we returned to work. Gathering with colleagues, we relished the experience of savouring different pizzas, engaging in lunchtime conversations, and generously sharing the delectable Garlic & Herb sauce.
New Office

It’s exciting to see how this growth has propelled us, allowing us to take on bigger challenges and deliver exceptional results. We are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such a talented and dedicated group of individuals, and we look forward to the incredible achievements that lie ahead!
New Branded Jackets
This year, our team experienced an exciting and stylish upgrade with the introduction of new branded jackets. The journey towards these fresh and modern additions began with a collaborative effort to redefine our team identity and foster a sense of unity.
The unveiling of these sleek and contemporary jackets marks a milestone in our collective identity, showcasing our commitment to innovation and unity within the team. As we proudly don these new garments, we not only enhance our professional image but also embody a renewed sense of pride and camaraderie.
Bongo's Bingo
We experienced Bongo’s Bingo for the very first time this year – it was an exhilarating and unique event that we look forward to doing again – hopefully with a bit more luck at winning this time! Combining the excitement of traditional bingo with the energetic atmosphere of a nightclub, Bongo’s Bingo offers an unforgettable night out, outrageous prizes, hilarious dance-offs, and unexpected twists that kept everyone on their toes.
Wear It Pink
Our team recently took part in a heart-warming initiative to support Breast Cancer Awareness through a delightful bake sale. We put on our pink attire and showcased our culinary skills, contributing an array of homemade goodies, from pink-frosted cupcakes to creatively crafted cookies. The bake sale was more than just a display of our team’s culinary talents; it was a collective effort to raise awareness and contribute to a cause close to our hearts.
